  Word of God  
 
The cross is folly to those who are perishing.
to us who are being saved
it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
 


Crosses release us from this world,
and by doing so, bind us to God.

 
Bl. Charles de Foucauld, 20th century

Be patient in suffering.
Romans 12:12
 


Let us understand that God is a Physician
and that suffering is a medicine for salvation,
not a punishment for damnation.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

 
 
  Word of God  
 
Though the Lord cause grief,
he will have compassion
according to the abundance of his love.
Lamentations 3:31,32
 


God is touched by our sorrows
and does not allow them to last forever.
He takes pleasure in trying our love for a time
because he sees that trials purify us and render us worthy
to receive his greater graces.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century
